Years after a young woman’s mysterious disappearance, her stepsister is compelled to discover the truth in a novel of haunting psychological suspense.

Four years ago, beautiful yet troubled Allie Andersen vanished without a trace. The twenty-one-year-old daughter of an acclaimed actress, her disappearance captivated the media, left her family distraught, and became a fixation for online theorists, who implicated everybody Allie knew and loved. Everyone, including her devoted stepsister, Natasha.

Now, Natasha is finally trying to move on. The panic attacks and episodes of hysterical blindness she has suffered since her stepsister’s disappearance have diminished, and she no longer obsesses over the speculations of strangers. Until the remains of a young woman’s body are discovered in a lonely mountain canyon.

As Natasha reconnects with the sympathetic Detective Ruiz, inexplicable pieces of evidence surface that open her eyes to a family she thought she knew. It seems that everyone in Allie’s life had a credible motive for wanting Allie to vanish. Following each new clue, Natasha is determined to finally find the truth, wherever it leads, and whatever the cost.

This book achieves something rare—-a character driven story that keeps anticipation and suspense without relying on narrative gimmicks or predictable plot devices. Really enjoyed it. HBO could make a movie or limited series with it.

Deftly written, suspenseful

Written & narrated very well, the story didn't leave gaps and didn't tack on pieces that felt like filler. Every part of the story felt though out and put together just so. I absolutely do recommend this audiobook.

Fantastic

I listen and read a lot of books, the main character was so ridiculous. Over the top dumb decisions and her internal dialogue was almost unbearable. The only way that this could be salvaged if she was guilt and or died

Cringy

The story while not deep was compelling enough for me to want to keep reading. The only thing that almost made me return the book was the narrator’s pronunciation of the name McNamara. Instead of Mac Nah Mare Ah, it was repeatedly ( hundreds of times ) read as Mac nam ara with the emphasis on “nam” It was so weird and it stated so many times, it took away from the story . Otherwise the narrator was wonderful.

Absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t predict the ending at all, every time I thought I knew what was happening a curve ball came!

Amazing book!

Wow, what a great read/ listen by Jaime deBlanc! I had to force myself to put it away at night so I could sleep.
There were so many twists and turns that it kept me guessing until the end.
As much as I loved Vivia Font's narration, I could only give it four stars. Sometimes it was hard to decipher which character was speaking because they sounded too much like another one.
Overall this book gets 5 stars in my opinion. I can't wait to see what comes next from deBlanc.

So many twists and turns!

I particularly enjoyed this book because it went a bit further than your typical murder-mystery-thriller. The main character skirt had detailed back stories and distinct personalities, a bit more so than I usually see in this genre.

Fleshed-out characters
